We expect to see some of the DOP's beta testing the camera to post some professional test shots with comments on how the camera performs in a few days. I will be excited to see if anyone color grades these shots up nice because I am a terrible colorist! I think when working in higher resolution, being able to see the movement in the distance in these shots is quite interesting. Also, I know you might want to color grade these shots so I allowed some clips to be longer at up to 10 seconds for some of them. Its a big file at just under 10 GB so it will take a little while to download, but these 4K files are big.

Some of the shots have different shutter angles and I used standard still camera lenses. I did notice that later when the guys did some more tests on the camera and lens that it was not shimmed correctly so I think the results could be better than this.

All the shots are ProRes as I did not shoot RAW. One shot of the jetty has some clipping in the sky to see the affect of clipping.

I spent a few weeks wandering around with the camera taking some different types of shots. This camera is not a low light camera, however I have included some clips at night so you can see that. The Blackmagic Production Camera 4K is very different to our other cameras, but I personally think it's quite filmy in its look, even though it's not really a digital film camera but more of a general production camera.

We have other more experienced camera operators out shooting with beta cameras now and they can post more realistic clips with lens details and other shooting information soon, however I wanted to post something now so I thought I would upload some of the clips I have shot personally. I wanted to post some clips that I personally have shot from the camera as I know people are interested in them. I wanted to do a quick update on the Blackmagic Production Camera 4K.Īs I have mentioned previously we have been working hard on redesigning part of the camera due to differences in the production sensors to what we experienced in the early camera builds, however that work is completed now and we are in final testing.
